Winter River

 This morning I was snowshoeing the Winter River trail, sunny at -10

 Getting snowshoes on, most people now use the new short stye of shoe.

We stopped for a group photo by the river.  We were out for almost two hours and by my gps travelled a little over 5 km.

What happen to the tree

 It was late in the day when I went out on the snowshoes, I was in the woods near the business park when I saw all this bark on the snow.

 The bits of bark were off the spruce tree that appears to be dieing.  My guess is that a woodpecker was having lunch by looking for grubs under the bark.

Taken at 6:20, sunset is getting later each day.
Sunny at -10 with a light wind, however it was down to -14 when I came in from the snowshoeing.

Brudenell

 I was snowshoeing today with the Three Rivers group. We were on the Confederation trail near the Brudenell river. The snow is almost to the top of the guard rails.

This is the trail bridge over the Brudenell river. We were out for 75 minutes, overcast with a temp of -5 and a stiff breeze.

Breadalbane trail

 One of the snowshoers needed help crossing this little creek.

 There was seven in the group today and we traveled the shorter loop, I measured it at 3.6 km.

When I got home the town equipment was clearing the sidewalk.
The temperature got up to +3 this afternoon.

Late March 3

 Late afternoon when I went snowshoeing around home, no one out before me.

 The snow has not settled any yet, You can only see bits of the fence.

I am guessing it was a crow that landed here to check something on the snow, not too often that I see pattern from the wing feathers in the snow.  High temperature was -10.

Snow day.

I visited some neighbors, then met with some retired staff from my old work place.  I then donated plasma over the lunch hour.  I the used the snow blower to clear up the drive way, we got between 10-15 of fresh snow today, The temperature was around zero but -6 right now and going to -12 overnight.

Sunday

A nice sunny day at -4 with light wind. Between watching some men's curling and attending a wake in the afternoon there was no snowshoeing today. But I did shovel some snow for 30 minutes.
